Grand Canyon Ballroom and Events is a historic hotel and premier wedding venue nestled in downtown Williams along Route 66, just north of Phoenix, Arizona. As Arizona’s oldest hotel, it offers a charming and timeless setting—perfect for your romantic wedding celebration.

Facilities and Capacity

Originally built in 1891, this storied venue provided comfortable accommodations for travelers heading to the majestic Grand Canyon, all before the railroad was even built or Arizona declared a state. After passing through various owners, the hotel was left vacant in the late 20th century. In 2004, the current owners restored it to its original elegance, and most recently, in 2024, it underwent another beautiful renovation to enhance its historic charm. Today, you and your loved ones can enjoy cozy accommodations onsite, including suites, bunkrooms, and bedrooms, ideal for guests who wish to explore this scenic region.

On your special day, celebrate in the grand ballroom—an exquisite space featuring glittering chandeliers and polished hardwood floors. With its open floor plan, the ballroom can be tailored to match your wedding vision, creating a truly personalized experience.

Beautiful venue!

The ballroom has been recently remodeled and it’s beautiful. We especially loved the ceilings. New owners have completed redone the Historic Grand Canyon hotel, so the amenities are top notch.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
